Abstract: A technique connects a module to a connector. The technique involves inserting the module into a connector base of the connector, and moving a first connector lever of the connector against the module and a second connector lever of the connector against the module. The technique further involves installing a clip onto the connector such that the clip provides a first force on the first connector lever and a second force on the second connector lever to hold the module to the connector. The presence of the clip prevents the connector levers from moving away from the module (e.g., separating from the module sides) and allowing the module to escape from the connector.

Abstract: Board terminals 12, each including a tapering insertion portion 13 for insertion into a through hole in a board, a soldering portion 14 to be soldered to the board, and a connection portion 15 for connection to a mating terminal, are produced from a wire 11, the insertion portion, the soldering portion and the connection portion being continuously arranged in this order in a direction of a length of the board terminal. The wire 11 has a width larger than a thickness thereof. The insertion portion 13 is formed by pressing the wire, and the soldering portion 14 is formed by cutting or pressing widthwise opposite side portions of that portion of the wire extending from the insertion portion 13, the soldering portion having a width smaller than the width of the wire. Those portions, removed from the wire by cutting or pressing, are very small, and generally the whole of the wire can be formed into the board terminal, and therefore a loss of the material is reduced.
